Bull Frog and bananas (sort of)

You’ve got to love Bull Frogs. Especially their sound. We were wishing we had a fishing pole with some red material on a hook when we saw this big guy tonight. Even if I caught a bull frog in season, I would release. They seem sparse anymore.

The Paw paw trees are growing along our fence line. There are a number of trees and many fruits. According to the linked web site, they are the largest wild fruit native to America. They are nicknamed Poor Man’s banana. I am not sure we have ever harvested a ripe fruit. As they reach their prime, I picture a circle of raccoons, waiting patiently then pouncing on the ripe fruit all at once.
